First we had that GOP meeting on the day of President Obama’s first inaugural when they discussed plans that would keep him from being successful. They obstructed whatever he attempted, even when he proposed those thing that they had wanted, so he would look bad, and they would have the chance to take over both houses of congress.
This was followed by Mitch McConnell announcing after the 2010 elections that the priority of the GOP was to make sure that President Obama was a one term president.
Recently we have had the GOP get all moist when Vladimir Putin flexed his muscles in Syria and the Ukraine, going all agog like ‘tween’ girls mooning over one of the current boy bands. They found him so dreamy.
But then Putin began to show his true colors, and fell slightly out of disfavor. He wasn’t useful in making President Obama look bad, especially since Obama’s stand on sanctions placed on Russia seemed to be paying off.
Oh, but then they found that they could cause problems with Obama’s attempts, along with France, England, Russia, China, and Germany, to negotiate with Iran to keep them from developing a nuclear bomb by inviting Benjamin Netanyahu to speak against that at a joint meeting of both houses of congress.
When that began to be seen as a bad move by quite a few Americans, 47 GOP senators sent that letter to Iran’s leaders telling them that regardless what success President Obama might have with that diplomacy, they could simply undo it if they were to take over the White House.
This also did not go over too big with the American people as it appeared that the GOP senators might have engaged in a little treason, and may have angered the other five negotiating countries while giving all other countries the impression that America’s word cannot be trusted.
But like a snowball rolling down hill, the GOP seems incapable of reining itself in.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wrote his own letter to all 50 governors of the United States, the basic theme of which is “the GOP does not agree with President Obama, so just ignore him”.
President Obama issued an executive order that coal-fired power plants have to cut greenhouse gas pollution in the coming years.
McConnell accused Obama of being lawless, and should just be ignored. Keep those greenhouse gases coming. After all, those congressmen and senators who keep telling us they are not scientists have concluded that those gases do not contribute to climate change.
The GOP steadfastly refuses to give any serious consideration to the science of climate change, often referring to the scientists who want it dealt with as “alarmist”, and want the science to be the subject of public opinion that they hope to sway.
What President Obama wants is for states to follow the EPA guidelines, and since they aren’t, he has made a stand.
According to Obama’s senior adviser, Brian Deese, “What you have is the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, going way outside the bounds of the position he was elected to”.
What’s interesting is that while President Obama wants to preserve our environment, Mitch McConnell wants to preserve one of his cash cows.
While John Boehner got $325,698 in contributions from the coal industry that produces the coal responsible for greenhouse gases, McConnell got $268,150, the second largest amount.
If the states do not ignore the EPA and Obama, Mitch might lose money.
